Brake Pressure Switch for launch control ???
I have a new stocker that has a brake pressure switch for launch control and I am trying to understand how it works and how to set it properly? I am just an old 2 step switch kind of guy (and am easily confused).
Any help is greatly appreciated! Text or call six03-78five-seven866 email: deanribeiro@comcast.net |

Look up Folk race cars. They have one worked really well. They are in Illinois last i heard.

Re: Brake Pressure Switch for launch control ???
Folk Race cars closed. The switch you want has an adjustable pressure Range 100 to 1000 PSI. 3 wires. Black wire is not used.
Recommend wiring power to it thru a 3rd gear micro switch. Power is removed to the BPS when in 3rd gear ( if a 3sp Auto) This will allow you to apply brakes at 1,000 and the 2 step will not be activated. Set up a LED light in the circuit so you know when the 2 step is powered up with right brake PSI Believe they are 200.00 or so. Steve Teeter Stk/SS 620 |

I did that to my PP shifter Bobby, only activates in first gear. I mounted to the right side. I?ll take pics when I get home. Same brake switch too..

There should be a micro switch that PPP can supply that mounts opposite side of the Netural safety switch. It's triggered by the same rod. No external bracket and switch required then . Very clean and they provide a screw on connector wiring harness same as the Safety switch hasness .

Re: Brake Pressure Switch for launch control ???
Just curious how much brake pressure do you use at the starting line? I have seen a lot of data and have never seen brake pressure over 4-500 psi (on 160 mph plus cars). I would think anymore than that would lock em up bad at the stripe.....
